Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company

(1) General information. From 1891 to 1903, the Company was operated as a partnership until its incorporation in Illinois as Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. in December 1903. In November 1910, the Company was reincorporated under West Virginia law as Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (the “Company”), and in October 1927, was reincorporated under the same name under Delaware law. The Company has concentrated on one principal line of business: manufacturing and marketing quality confectionery products, primarily chewing gum. The Company recently diversified its business within the broader confectionery category. To this end, the Company, in 2004, acquired certain confectionery businesses of the Joyco Group from Agrolimen - a privately-held Spanish conglomerate.
